Sign Language


This year we will be learning about sign language on Wednesday afternoons. We are very fortunate to have Mrs Sheila Monaghan coming into our Pod to teach our young learners. Our tamariki are already buzzing about learning a new language and are picking up new sign all the time. 
Please take the time to ask your child to show you some of their new learning..... 
I'm sure you'll be impressed!

The Adventures of Lily and Clover

Last week, Lily showed her new friend Clover around Whakarongo School. Check out where they went and what they got up to.....
